PROJECT TITLE:

MMB cloud-tree Authenticated Index for Verifiable Cloud Service Selection - 2016

ABSTRACT:

Cloud brokers have been recently introduced as a further computational layer to facilitate cloud choice and service management tasks for cloud customers. However, existing brokerage schemes on cloud service selection usually assume that brokers are fully trusted, and do not provide any guarantee over the correctness of the service recommendations. It's then possible for a compromised or dishonest broker to easily take advantage of the restricted capabilities of the clients and offer incorrect or incomplete responses. To address this problem, we tend to propose an innovative Cloud Service Selection Verification (CSSV) theme and index structures (MMBcloud-tree) to enable cloud purchasers to detect misbehavior of the cloud brokers throughout the service selection process. We tend to demonstrate correctness and potency of our approaches both theoretically and empirically.
